Ingredients:
• 1 cup water
• ¼ tsp raw grated ginger
• ¼ tsp turmeric (either choose raw or powdered organic)
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• Dash cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp honey
• Optional: lemon. Lemon is rich in vitamin C and just tastes great. I’d recommend it! Try adding ½ a lemon.
• Optional: garlic. One time when I was going hard with the tonics, I tried adding garlic for its antibacterial properties. It didn’t taste great and it wasn’t enjoyable, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. However, if you’re either really sick or feeling bold, go for it. ½ a clove is more than enough.
Instructions:
1. Add the water, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, ginger, lemon or garlic if using, and cayenne pepper to a pot and bring to a boil. Do not add the honey yet! It will kill all of its active ingredients, which is not what you want.
2. Once the mix has boiled, let it simmer for 10-12 minutes.
3. Strain and add the honey. If you’re sniffy, breathe in the concoction at this point! The cayenne will work its magic.
4. Sip away!
Bye-bye cold.
